George W. Bush is unelectable and a miserable failure. While we’re at it: Bush Military Record.
Big Surprise: Can-Spam can’t stop Spam
A month after the federal Can-Spam Act went into effect, most anti-spam vendors say that the new legislation hasn’t cut down on the glut of junk mail in users’ in-boxes.
According to numbers released this week by Brightmail, Postini, and Commtouch, three providers of message-filtering and anti-spam solutions, the amount of spam they’ve intercepted since the law took effect on Jan. 1 has increased, went unchanged, or fallen by an insignificant amount.
OK, not really a surprise…

Super Bowl Halftime Show

Joementum != Momentum
From Joe Lieberman for President 2004:
Joe Surging In New Hampshire
1/27 — Today is the day! Since Joe’s amazing debate performance on Thursday night, his support in New Hampshire has been surging. Buoyed by newspaper endorsements, terrific television ads that your contributions keep on the air, and Joe’s own stamina and optimism, New Hampshire is becoming Lieberman Country just when it matters most: on the eve of the Primary! Just look at what’s happening on the ground. Voters are flocking to see Joe, right before they make up their minds about their vote…
According to CNN, as of 10:32 EST, Joe Lieberman’s has surged to a fifth place finish with a whopping 9% of the vote in New Hampshire.

Some Advice for Howard Dean
(via August J. Pollak)
Things Howard Dean can do to look more “presidential”:
- Announce proudly that no president has ever done as much as him for human rights.
- Dress up in a crotch-accentuating flight suit and land a jet on an aircraft carrier.
- Brag repeatedly about a sub-standard college grade point average.
- Get arrested for public rowdiness at a football game.
- Attempt to recite a cliché adage at a press conference and promptly forget how it goes in the middle of saying it.
- Mount, and promptly fall off, an unpowered Segway scooter.
- Drop his dog in front of cameras.
- Consistently mispronounce the word “nuclear.”
- Condescendingly mock the upcoming execution of a death row inmate.
- Trade away Sammy Sosa.
- Choke on pretzel bits to the point of losing balance and bruising his head.
- Attend a public event in which Stevie Wonder is performing and wave to him from the balcony.
